Private rents show slight downturn

Private rents edged down in November for the first time in eight months, but the relief for tenants will be brief in the overheated sector, a study warned.

Average rents fell by 0.4% month-on-month in England and Wales to £741 a month as the traditional seasonal slowdown took hold, according to the latest buy-to-let index from lettings agent network LSL Property Services, which owns chains Your Move and Reeds Rains.
